The streetview cars are a lie.

They actually have nanotech cameras installed in your teeth.

my address has no street view so the video was just a guy running then a frozen screen.

some guy did this thing to an Arcade Fire song

put the address of your childhood home in and watch what happens

I swear it's magic



also let's talk about our childhood homes here

Your address doesn't contain enough Street-View and/or Google Maps data to 100% enjoy this experience.

Uh...kay.

Well. 5412 hwy 212 n Covington, GA still looks like it did when I left. Add to that a shitty song and some dude running towards a camera for 5 minutes and I guess this just isn't for me.

Okay that's pretty funny. Video shows the guy running down a street but the map view shows him running in an open field. lol

How exactly does streetview work anyway

I mean I am assuming that they did not actually drive down each and every street with a camera pointed in every direction

but that's the only way I can imagine to get those pictures

that is literally what they do

Man I wish I could have seen this when the car drove down my street.

This thing sure did give a great view of where my house used to be, which was bought by the city and demolished and has now been a fenced off field for 5 years. Doesn't really do anything for me, but I suspect my mom would cry, so I sure won't be sending it along to her.

This game is more inspirational if you use 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington D.C.

I was born in West Covina, CA and my house was near a landfill. I have no memories of our house there.
I never lived in a place for more than 2 years until moving to Florida. Thank you Black Monday.

So it really changes the meaning of the whole thing if you put in the address to a liquor store or other meaningless establishment, I noticed

GeoMitch

Zoel

Damn thing doesn't seem to recognize land addresses. That's what I get for growing up miles from civilization.

Memories best left alone

GeoMitch

it's normally an automatic thing, but since crwth's face is so distorted naturally the software didn't recognize it, so it was done manually

MrMonroe

fuck you, Sartre

I ain't need your shit right now
